U.S. News Review

Sitting along Waikiki Beach's coveted sands, the Sheraton Waikiki is one of the larger hotels on the Honolulu shore. That can be both good and bad. On one hand, recent guests describe the accommodations here as spacious, making them a good choice for families. (Rooms are decked out in beige and hardwood decor and feature amenities like flat-screen TVs, high-speed Internet access and, in many cases, private balconies). On the other hand, many visitors say this hotel often feels crowded — not only are there dozens of families milling around on their way to the kid's pool and playground, but this Sheraton's proximity to the convention center makes it a popular gathering spot for business folk. However, many travelers are willing to brave the crowds for access to the Sheraton Waikiki's excellent location, the infinity pool and complimentary cultural activities such as Hula lessons and arts and crafts. The hotel also features several dining options to choose from, while dozens of restaurants sit within walking distance of the front door.
